Chapter 31 — Myself and Senior Yan are similar in terms of Seniority!
“Holy Son? Could it be Yang Chen?” Empress Yan raised her eyebrows. She had calmed down by now and distinguished that this dark aura was not from a Soul Cult Cultivator.
Soul Cult Cultivators, in addition to darkness, also had restraint over soul bodies and the ability to devour soul power. But the other party did not. They should be just a simple darkness cultivator. And the “Holy Son” mentioned should be Yang Chen.
But the Xuantian Sect really went all out. They actually arranged a Soul Transformation realm protector for Yang Chen. Fortunately, Yan’er hadn’t acted prematurely. Otherwise, things would have been troublesome. Senior Yan thought to herself.
Although she could unleash the cultivation of the Soul Transformation realm, she was only a soul body, and she was in a very weakened state. So, unleashing the power at the Soul Transformation realm was not sustainable.
If she forcefully attempted to kill Yang Chen, it would definitely provoke this Soul Transformation realm cultivator to fight to the death. At that time, whether she could kill Yang Chen was uncertain.
Even if she did, the Soul Transformation realm cultivator would still pursue her relentlessly. By then, even if she could escape, she would probably exhaust her soul power and fall into a deep sleep again.
Waking up again would be a distant prospect. The other party coming to her door now must be because he had sensed her existence.
Empress Yan had no choice but to agree.
She stepped out from the ring space. Her enchanting figure emitted a faint red light, dispersing the darkness.
“It seems that the senior had extraordinary cultivation in her lifetime, and now she is just a soul shadow, but she still has the strength of the Soul Transformation realm!” Ye Yuxiao said lightly, but she was quite shocked inside.
Such a strong soul had been inside Lin Yan’s body all this time. The crucial point was that every time Lin Yan went to the Xuantian Sect, he would take her in and the Soul Transformation realm cultivators in the sect did not even notice.
It could be seen that the other party was very skilful. But how did the Holy Son know about it? Ye Yuxiao couldn’t understand. The Holy Son had become more and more mysterious recently.
“Please!” The darkness faded, and the red light disappeared.
In Yang Chen’s room, Ye Yuxiao appeared in front of her.
“Holy Son, she’s here!”
With that, a graceful figure appeared before Yang Chen. Her figure was graceful and charming, exactly as described in the original work. Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of Lin Yan. His mother was gentle and beautiful, and his master was enchanting and peerless.
Sigh. Junior Brother Lin Yan. Why is your life so good? Even I am a bit jealous as your father!
“Senior, I am Yang Chen, greetings!” Yang Chen stood up and saluted with clasped hands.
Then he asked knowingly, “May I ask how I should address you, senior?”
“Empress Yan!”
“Empress Yan? Senior, please forgive my impoliteness, but I presume you must’ve been an extremely powerful cultivator in your lifetime! I wonder what your relationship is between Senior and Yan’er?”
“Master and disciple!” Senior Yan said lightly.
“Oh, master and disciple! I am Yan’er’s stepfather, so myself and Senior Yan are similar in terms of seniority!” Yang Chen said with a smile.
Empress Yan’s mouth twitched.
This guy seemed to really like emphasizing his stepfather-stepson relationship with Yan’er.
“Yan’er often exhibits powers that do not belong to him, that’s due to Senior Empress Yan’s help I suppose!” Yang Chen continued.
She nodded. “Yes.”
“Well, as I thought, how could Yan’er, at the Fourth stage of Foundation Building realm, kill a Golden Core cultivator? But Senior often helps Yan’er, which is actually detrimental to his growth! Using powers that don’t belong to oneself too often will make it seem natural and create dependence! It’s not good for his state of mind. I hope Senior will not help him like this in the future!”
Senior Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Yang Chen with some surprise. She had not expected him to be so insightful. Through today’s events, she had also realized that Yan’er was relying too much on her power now. He would borrow her power to deal with people at the drop of a hat.
A Fourth stage Foundation Building cultivator who constantly looked down on Golden Core realm cultivators.
Sigh. He couldn’t be indulged like this in the future.
After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Chen looked at Ye Yuxiao. “Sister Yu Xiao, please go out first! I have something to discuss with Senior Empress Yan alone!”
“Holy Son!” Ye Yuxiao hesitated. A soul body with the power of the Soul Transformation realm, alone in a room with the Holy Son, made her a little uneasy.
However, Yang Chen was confident. “It’s okay! If Senior Empress Yan tries anything against me, Sister Yuxiao, just do as I say and find a cultivator from the Blood Blade Sect. Tell them what happened here!”
Yang Chen’s casually spoken words puzzled Ye Yuxiao. But when Empress Yan heard them, her beautiful eyes widened, and her delicate body trembled suddenly. The red glow on her body flickered.
